Do I need to buy a meal plan?On-campus students with less than 30 earned credit hours are required to purchase one of the 5 or 7 Day All Access Plan options. Students who meet this criteria and do not elect a meal plan will be assigned the basic 5 Day All Access plan. This plan is a non-refundable non-transferable meal plan. Students can upgrade to a plan that better suits their dining needs at any time.

Commuter students with less than 90 earned credit hours and residential students with 30-90 earned credit hours are required to have the 300 Dining Dollar plan. These students may also upgrade to a plan that better suits their dining needs at any time. At the end of the academic year students on the 300 Dining Dollar plan only, may request unused funds be refunded to their student account. Refund requests must be made between May 15 and June 15, and the unused funds will be returned to the account holder

Will my meal plan auto renew for next semester?
Meal plans are a one semester commitment and therefore must be chosen each semester. If a meal plan is not selected, a minimum mandatory plan will be automatically assigned according to the student’s status as outlined above.

Will unused meals or Dining Dollars roll over? All meal plan meals expire at the end of each semester. Declining balance funds (flex/dining dollars) will roll over from fall to spring semester. Flex money attached to the any of the All Access plans, the 80 or 200 Block plans or the 300 or 500 Flex plans WILL expire at the end of each spring semester. Students on the 300 Dining Dollar plan only, may request unused funds be refunded to their student account.

If I have already purchased a meal plan, can I change it?You have the first two weeks of each semester to downgrade your meal plan. However, a student can upgrade their plan at any time during the semester if they feel their current plan is not sufficient for their dining needs.

Don’t worry - simplicity and convenience are all within reach. Once you have a meal plan, your student ID works like a debit card. Just swipe your card and the meals and points are deducted from your meal plan account.
